Chapter 257


    Jamison was dumbfounded!


    Emerson’s twockeys were also shocked. They had nned to bully the


    beautiful woman and see if they could take advantage of the situation, but


    who would have thought she was a fierce tigress?


    Even Emmanuel was astonished!


    My wife is so fierce!


    He didn’t need to be a hero and save her at all…

    “The rest of you, will youe at me one by one, or all at once?”


    Mackenzie had been in a bad mood these days, and she had been


    wondering how to vent her frustration. These people had walked right into her


    trap, giving her the perfect opportunity to release her pent–up anger. Seeing


    her icy gaze, Jamison retreated in fear, not daring to approach to even help


    his father up.


    “L–Let’s go quickly!”


    Emerson’s twockeys turned around and ran…


    “Cowards!”


    Mackenzie didn’t have time to waste on these individuals. She turned around


    and left the scene.


    Meanwhile, Emmanuel sighed. The father and son from the Cadigan family


    were truly disappointing. They didn’t even give him a chance to intervene. It


    seemed he would have to find another opportunity to resolve the conflict


    with Mackenzie.


    The news of the couple’s conflict quickly reached the Quillen estate through


    Terence’s arranged informants.


    Terence, the old fox, even managed to obtain video footage of Emmanuel


    failing to save his wife after sleeping on the bench all night.


    “Grandpa, it seems like your n backfired!”


    Beatrix was extremely anxious. She had never been in a rtionship, but she


    had a deep bond with her older sister. Seeing her sister gloomy and


    absent–minded these days made her worry, and she couldn’t even eat or


    sleep properly.


    It felt as if she had gone through a breakup herself. If it weren’t for fear of


    exposing her sister’s identity, she would have wanted to kick her idiot


    brother–inw and warn him to hurry up and make amends with her sister.


    “Haha, it won’t backfire! Marriage is just like a business. You have to be


    patient!” Terence remained confident.


    He was already 70 years old, and he had experienced all sorts of situations.


    He always maintained a detached attitude as he saw through the heart of


    everything.


    If Mackenzie didn’t mention divorce, it meant she still couldn’t bear to leave


    that man. The longer the conflictsted, the greater the chance of


    reconciliation. There might even be unexpected gains!


    He knew that if he wanted great–grandchildren, he had to take drastic


    measures. Beatrix listened with confusion to his reasoning. Stomping her feet


    in frustration, she announced, “I won’t listen to you anymore.” Afterward, she


    turned and left.


    At that moment, Alfred approached respectfully and asked, “Sir, shouldn’t you


    intervene and mediate between the young couple?”


    “I won’t help them with this matter!” Terence’s eyes contained a faint gleam.


    “When ites to marriage, let them resolve it naturally. I won’t interfere


    unless they really want a divorce…”


    After finishing work in the afternoon, Emmanuel headed to the headquarters


    of Terence Group as usual on his electric scooter to work part–time.


    On the way, he received a call from Quintus.


    “Emmanuel, we didn’t have enough funst time. Let’s go out for a drink


    tonight!”


    “Quintus, I have a part–time job tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t.”


    “No? That won’t do! How about this, I’ll introduce you to a super pretty woman


    to apany you for drinks, and I’llpensate you for the wages you lost!”


    Quintus generously said.


    Emmanuel forced a smile. He felt quite ufortable inside and wanted to


    drown his sorrows in alcohol. But he knew very well that getting drunk would


    not only fail to reconcile with Mackenzie but might make the situation even


    worse!


    “Quintus, maybe next time! I’m really not in the mood tonight…”


    “What a bummer! Fine, then!”


    Quintus hung up the phone and got out of his Range Rover the next moment.


    In fact, his call to Emmanuel for drinks was just a backup n, so it wasn’t a


    problem when Emmanuel refused.


    Emmanuel arrived at the entrance of the Terence Group building on his


    electric scooter just as Mackenzie was leaving thepany. He had actually


    She looked even colder today, and her eyes seemed dimmer than usual.
